Itâ??s November 1991. Nirvana's in the tape deck, George H. W. Bush is in the White House, and movie-obsessed college student Charlie Jordan is in a car with a man who might be a serial killer.
Josh Baxter, the man behind the wheel, is a virtual stranger to Charlie. They met at the campus ride board, each looking to share the long drive home to Ohio. Both have good reasons for wanting to get away. For Charlie, itâ??s guilt and grief over the shocking murder of her best friend, who became the third victim of the man known as the Campus Killer. For Josh, itâ??s to help care for his sick fatherâ??or so he says.
The longer she sits in the passenger seat, the more Charlie notices thereâ??s something suspicious about Josh, from the holes in his story about his father to how he doesnâ??t want her to see inside the trunk. As they travel an empty, twisty highway in the dead of night, an increasingly anxious Charlie begins to think sheâ??s sharing a car with the Campus Killer. Is Josh truly dangerous? Or is Charlieâ??s jittery mistrust merely a figment of her movie-fueled imagination?

Why would Charlie had to punch someone or anybody she shouldn't putting her hands on anyone she wouldn't like it if someone punched her she would complain about it to somebody and cause they annoy you that isn't really nice to do to people. Maybe some people like to watch the same tv shows especially if it's reruns of old tv shows or maybe they find comfort in a old tv shows, movies can be little boring after awhile. I like how Riley Sager mentions my homestate which was and always will be New Jersey. If Charlie didn't trust Josh who was a stranger to her maybe she shouldn't have gotten in the car with him instead she should have taken the bus to Ohio. Before moving to Pennsylania I have into the Poconos by the the Delware Water Gap once in a while and I still take the Delware Water Gap once in a while if I am going to New Jersey. I also liked how Riley Sager mentions old hollywood actors like Rita Heyworth, to Marlon Brando to my favorite actress of all time Audrey Hepburn. I wonder what part of a small town in the Poconos was Maddy was from? And then Riley mentions my all-time favorite band and also from New Jersey Bon Jovi and which I call them my Jersey boys. Charlie doesn't seem like a good friend too Maddy for leaving her by herself and should be feeling guilty for leaving Maddy to die alone.
Why would Josh lie about the person he was because Charlie found a wallet with a different license with a different name on in that wasn't Jake. Who would ask a weird question about what is your favorite building on the college campus I think that question was odd to ask someone I don't think people would have a favorite building unless it's the library. Delware Water Gap is in Pennsylvania where do you think it is? It's not in New Jersey and Josh was not the one who killed Maddy the way Charlie keeps thinking that way.
I wouldn't want to help out some girl that I didn't know and was acting crazy and talking to herself when no one else wasn't in the bathroom and who was out of her mind seeing things that aren't there. I would be calling the cops on her not trying catch a ride with me and what if she tried to killed me. There was another person that was mentioned in the book and that person was Bing Crosby a favorite cooner. Maybe it's the middle of the night is why Charlie didn't see other cars around on the road.
Charlie seriously needs to realize that Josh wasn't the one that didn't do a thing to Maddy and I doubt Josh even know who Maddy was and If Charlie didn't still feel comfortable being in the same car with Josh then why did she get into the car with me since she doesn't know him all that will or never saw before does Charlie know that saying don't get into cars with strangers.
And I had a feeling about that Marge had something to do with what has been going on and see Charlie proved herself wrong about Josh being a campus killer and it's was probably Marge who had Maddy and was a campus killer.
Marge Maddy's grandmother was kinda creepy how could Charlie know who killed Maddy if Charlie wasn't there, why does Marge has to hurt or kill Charlie that doesn't sound good to Marge even thou she had months to live. How does Marge want Charlie to remember who killed if she didn't see the person's face. I don't think Maddy would want her grandmother to kill someone especially Charlie and Josh who was innocent in this madness with Marge.
It sounds like Robbie is the one that had to do with killing Maddy and apparently killing of other girls not just Maddy because of Charlie found a box in the glove compartment with Maddy's and the other girls tooth and seems like Robbie wanted to do the same to Charlie that's when she should have had her guard up. I'm was glad that Josh well seems like his real name was Jake made out alive and also Charlie I gave this one once again even thou I read this once before a 4 stars. ( )
I almost bailed at the beginning because it starts off with the girl making a clearly risky decision but after that hump it got significantly more interesting, overall it was twisty good but I didn't have enough draw to the characters to push it to great. The ending was clever and did explain away a lot of what I thought wasn't great. ( )
I enjoyed the ride, no pun intended. I rated it 3.5 stars because I don't know that I will remember this much beyond tomorrow. I also found the "mind movies" a bit confusing at time. I don't know what actually happened and what was just in her head. I think that was the point, but even now I'm kind of confused on what actually happened. But despite that, I was looking forward to listening to it and got through it quickly. SPOILER: I didn't see it coming that the waitress was Maddie's grandmother or that Robbie was the bad guy - because why would he have let her go? I'd recommend if you're looking for a quick, easy-to-read thriller with a few good twists. ( )
Until about 90%, I thought Charlie (the main character) was the stupidest woman ever. She made a lot of dumb decisions. And things were assumed in the book that I don't think people would have realistically figured out so quickly.
Over all I enjoyed the book. Great twist that I definitely didn't see coming! ( )
